BRAVO , BRAVO. I have been using shower curtains for making dresses for Costumes for a theatre group here at home... Some of the best material I have found to work with to make Renaissance dresses have been beautiful shower curtains..

I am thinking in the same lines... except my grandkids are size 4, I am thinking of taking a size 4 sleeper w/feet.. and stuffing it with fiber fill to the deminsions of the girls... using an old Jo ann fabric ghost (the legs are about the right length.. ) to keep it upright...At least I will have somethiing that resembles them>

Believe it or not... I bought the same Exact shirt at Goodwill this summer and made a dress almost exactly like this for my 3 yr old granddaughter... YES, It was a man's shirt...mine came in a 2X.The dress is adorable... and I am so glad that someone gave the shirt to Goodwill. Now my granddaughter has an adorable dress..

I love this tutorial. I just finished making my 8th dress from men's shirts. Today's was a black and white seersucker. I have a friend who has started an embroidery business. She is going to make orange and red butterflies on the front yoke.

I love this pattern so much... and my grandgirls look so sweet in their dresses and everybody is amazed that it is made from a man's dress shirt.

I would love to know where you got your sewing model. I would love to have one also. I have two granddaughters that I love to sew for, but they live so far away. It is a guessing game to see if everything I make them fits.

I am very new to Craftsters, but not new to costume construction.I volunteer my creative talents to a community theatre group. We do children theatre also.I use any type of material I can get my hands on, curtains, table cloths, sheets , and reconstruct and repurpose.
